Chapter 704: UntitledWhen Mo Shitian woke up with bleary eyes, the bedroom was still as dark and the bed next to him had turned cold. He suddenly shivered and came to his senses.
Where was Ruyu?
Could she have left?
No longer sleepy, he wore his sleeping robe and, without tightening it, immediately opened the door to dash downstairs. Unlike the darkness in the bedroom, it was bright outside thanks to the warm sunlight covering all in its way.
The house was filled with an aroma.
Su Ruyu heard the hurried thumping of steps and turned back in surprise to see a startled Mo Shitian behind her. He was in a black sleeping robe that was loosely worn. The V-shaped collar ran from his neck to his chest, somehow revealing his perfectly sculpted chest. Mo Shitian, like the classiest hunting leopard around, seemed exceptionally sexy and gorgeous.
Mo Shitian looked at her, who was outrageously sexy and gorgeous thanks to the black shirt that perfectly covered her, as though he was kissing all her skin. As it perfectly wrapped itself around her, the somewhat visible love bites on her pale legs sent people fantasizing.It was sexy and perfect.
His panicked heart slightly calmed down. Ruyu was still around, and she had yet to leave. She was still around.
Mo Shitian entered the kitchen and noticed that the once spacious kitchen felt much more packed. He hugged Su Ruyu from behind and buried his head in her nape, taking in her tempting fragrance.
Without saying a word, he hugged her and took in her scent. He really felt satisfied, and she fully occupied his empty heart. ‘Ruyu, oh, Ruyu, the heaven sure knows how much I love you.’
“Did you sleep well?” Su Ruyu tapped his hands around her waist that he held tightly. Interlocking their fingers interlocked, he kept embracing her. Su Ruyu felt her heart leap. Who once said that these actions were so filled with yearning and love?
‘Mo Shitian, oh, Mo Shitian…’
‘You sure put me in a tight spot.’
“Okay!” Mo Shitian solemnly said and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the steamed fish, his lips broke into a very slight smile. Was she cooking for him? Really?While he did not feel particularly hungry, he suddenly felt exceptionally hungry. Even poison that she personally prepared would become exceptionally palatable.
“Go freshen up before coming down for food,” Su Ruyu said as she turned off the stove. This was the last dish, and she was as bewildered at how she understood Mo Shitian so well given how perfectly she estimated the time.
With the last dish prepared, he should be out of bed.
How timely.
“I’m hungry. I’ll just eat like this.”
“You’re so dirty! Go freshen up!” Su Ruyu stepped on his feet. “You might as well take a shower before you come down for food.”
He had that scent all around him…
It made her cheeks flushed.
Mo Shitian stared at her hard. “If I come down and you disappear, you are dead meat.”“Hmmph! Can you find me if I decide to disappear?”
“I’m not showering!”
“Oh, f*** off!”
They both stared at each other.
Mo Shitian eventually lost and went upstairs embarrassedly to shower. Hmmph! In less than ten minutes, he came down in another black sleeping robe while water still dripped from his hair. When he flung his head, water beads flew all around. Su Ruyu could not stand him. F***, what kind of shower was this quick?
He looked at Su Ruyu, feeling wholly justified, while he waited to be fed with the presence of a big boss. He could not hide the excitement, elation, and hints of satisfaction on his face.
As a person who did not easily show his emotions, Mo Shitian allowed Su Ruyu to see this side of him. Su Ruyu secretly wondered. ‘Forget it. I’ll make some loss. Serving him would be worth it.’ She hence did not get calculative and scooped some rice and side dishes for him. The table had all that Mo Shitian loved to eat. It was probably her subconscious memory at work. Mo Shitian seemed to have returned to the worry-free and happiest days of their lives.
For him, she washed her hands and cooked as he smiled foolishly from the side and joked about wanting to learn. In return, she booted him and coldly said, “What’s there to learn when I’m around?”
That statement utterly made his day. She might not have known that she could have implied that she would cook for him for the rest of her life. Hence, he would not need to learn anything since she would cook for him.
As time went by, they reneged on their word.“Why are you looking at me? Do you still expect me to feed you?” Su Ruyu looked at him coldly.
“I’d be more than happy to let you feed me if you want to.”
“Oh, f*** off!” Su Ruyu coldly replied and put another piece of stewed beef in his bowl.
Mo Shitian was extremely happy.
“Ruyu, your cooking has improved much from before,” Mo Shitian said and wolfed down the food. He wished he could eat all that she had prepared as these were the food he so missed and loved.
These were the only flavors he could remember for all these years.
“Got it. I’ve not cooked in a long time, so patronize me as much as you want.” Su Ruyu tucked her lips and gently smiled.
“You sure are one hard person to please. Look at how you are so opinionated despite being praised,” Mo Shitian rumbled. Old Witch, whose hearing was top-notch, coldly smiled and looked at him. “You just learned that today?”“Since long ago.”
“Hmmph!” Su Ruyu coldly harrumphed. Mo Shitian buried his head as he ate. Su Ruyu could take it no longer and slowly said, “Don’t eat so quickly. Nobody is going to fight for your food.”
“Aren’t you human?”
Su Ruyu was lost for words.
F***, was this something any decent person would say? She gritted her teeth and shot a chopstick at Mo Shitian’s hand that he easily dodged. Mo Shitian, pleased, raised his eyebrows. “Ruyu, I am better than you.”
“I’ve been training every day for the past twenty-over years whilst you were wasting your days away, yet you can still be so confident?” Old Witch raised her eyebrows and teased him with a smile. She knew that Mo Shitian was very capable.
When they were younger, they often sparred and he would always win. Haughty her, who wanted to win against him, sought countless ways to no avail. He was dense enough to know her thoughts but never let her have her way for once.
Mo Shitian bit on the stewed beef tastefully and plainly said, “It’s the soul that’s gone to the dogs and not the skills. I’m a prodigy when it comes to skills, so I can rot for another twenty years and still come out tops.”
“You narcissist!”
Mo Shitian raised his eyebrows, pleased. He continued chowing down on the tasty food. Su Ruyu looked at him and slowly said, “Since you are still as capable despite your age, how about you tag along? There is somebody I need you to take care of. How does it sound?”
“I’m not free!” Mo Shitian did not look up. He had just reunited with Su Ruyu, and anybody who dared to disturb his peace was asking for trouble.
Those people simply wanted them to fall out.
